According to the company, the merger is aimed at creating a larger, vertically integrated entity while simplifying the group structure and improving operational efficiencies. Following the scheme's implementation, Konkan LNG will stand dissolved without being wound up, and its equity shares will be cancelled in accordance with the Companies Act. The company is nearing completion of major pipeline projects, with transmission volumes expected to grow to 133-134 MMS CMD in FY27, representing an 8-10 MMS CMD increase.
According to GAIL's latest disclosures, liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies from the Middle East have been disrupted since March 2026 due to the geopolitical situation in West Asia. Petronet LNG declared force majeure on March 3, reducing GAIL's regasified LNG allocation under the contract to zero from March 4. The company reported that seven LNG cargoes under other contracts were also affected during the June quarter. To manage these disruptions, GAIL procured LNG and natural gas from the spot market and alternative sources to maintain supplies to priority sectors.
